Neopets Altador Cup Guide: Tips and Tricks

This guide is especially directed for those that are participating in the Altador Cup III on Neopets. You may use these tips and tricks to help you get a better score when playing Yooyuball, Slushie Slinger, or Make Some Noise on the Altador Cup - Games page.

Ranks / Levels

Every point you make in the following three games determines what rank you have. If you're like me, you'll want the best prizes and trophy you can possibly get by the end of the Altador Cup event.

There are twenty different ranks. The highest rank you can achieve is All Star. The following list will explain how many points you need for each rank: Rank 1: 50-99.99 points, Rank 2: 100-149.99 points, Rank 3: 150-199.99 points, Rank 4: 200-274.99 points, Rank 5: 275-349.99 points, Rank 6: 350-424.99 points, Rank 7: 425-499.99 points, Rank 8: 500-599.99 points , Rank 9: 600-699.99 points, Rank 10: 700-799.99 points, Rank 11: 800 -899.99 points, Rank 12: 900-1024.99 points, Rank 13: 1025-1149.99 points, Rank 14: 1150-1274.99 points, Rank 15: 1275-1399.99 points, Rank 16: 1400-1549.99 points, Rank 17: 1550-1699.99 points, Rank 18: 1700-1849.99 points, and Rank 19: 1850-2000 points.

To determine how many points you have, basically give yourself one point for each Yooyuball win, one point for every three Slushie Slinger games played, and one point for every fifteen Make Some Noise games played.

Yooyuball

On the controls page, it will tell you that the up arrow key will allow you to move all players back to their starting positions. This is incorrect; you should actually use the shift key when you need to put your players back where they began. This comes in handy when you need your defenders back to defend the goal.

With the exception of Darigan, Faerie, and Mutant Yooyus, you're basically using the same strategy when trying to score. You should try to aim for one of the back corners of the opponent's goal while shooting the Yooyu diagonally.

When you get the hang of playing Yooyuball, scoring almost becomes second-nature. You probably won't need the defense so much, so it's a good idea to switch from using a 2-2 team setup to a 1-3 setup, so you have three team members on the offense. This makes scoring easier, because you'll have one of your team members starting at the center, which is right next to the Yooyu.

Slushie Slinger

You should have no trouble completing the first few levels since there are few customers demanding slushies from you. However, the slushie shop will eventually be crowded with customers and you'll have little time to complete their orders. When the job gets hectic, you are able to give the customers ANY flavored slushie and they'll accept it. Of course, you won't get as many points, but you'll survive in the game longer, which will allow you to earn more points in the long run.

Make Some Noise

My general strategy for this game is to take two fingers and place them on the two keys I'll be tapping. Sometimes, you'll get troublesome keys that are hard to get a high score on. In this case, it's a good idea to refresh the page so you can get a comfortable set of keys to tap. I don't really worry about keeping a pattern when tapping the keys. Instead, I just hit them both at the same time as fast as my fingers allow me to. Just make sure to take short breaks between each game or your wrist won't like you much in the morning!

Well, those are all the tips and tricks I have at the moment for the Altador Cup. Be sure to check later as this page may be updated with more information. In the meantime, good luck to you and your team. Personally, I'll be rooting for Darigan Citadel.

Good to see a fellow Darigan Citadel supporter here. :D

It's too bad to see that we ended up in 7th - 8th place this year. :(
